it was cold outside
kronii rushed inside, it was getting dark
as she took her jacket off you approached her
you informed her that you had two surprises waiting
she thanked you obviously excited to check them out
"ooo I am so exc- uhh, I mean- I am-"
"I will go and check those out, by the way where is mumei?"
mumei was always the center of Kronii's attention
mumei gave you competition
maybe if mumei was permanently a part of kronii, kronii would pay you more attention
you planned however to win her over with a surprise
you hoped she wouldn't need to be given the second
another part of you wanted her absolutely to be given the second
you were an emotional wreck, kronii could fix you
you went to the kitchen
there you presented her with her first surprise
a beautiful dish, you made it just for her
kronii was hungry, she immediately started to scoop up and eat it
"mmmmm this is so good~"
"where is mumei, have you seen her?"
"M U M E I W O U L D L O V E T H I S"
you didn't answer, mumei didn't need to be here
she was already here, in spirit
"are these berries?"
"mumei was gathering berries earlier today, did she help you with this"
Goddammit why did she keep talking about mumei?!
this was supposed to be your time
you did recall the face mumei made when you approached her, she had a basket of berries in hand
she smiled when she first saw you, she offered you some berries
you didn't just want some berries, you needed MORE to make your food
you remembered the noise it made when the basket hit the floor
you remembered the way mumei said your name
so she wanted kronii eh?
she would get to be with kronii in a special way
this was your moment right now though and you didn't need her intruding on it
"this meat is awful sweet, I love it"
sigh
why wasn't she complementing you?
you made an entire dish for her
you made it out of all the things she loved
you even put a little kimchi in it
you cooked part with maple syrup too in order to make it sweet
that was the berries of course, the meat didn't need more sweetness
the meat was pretty high in calorie so you hoped she didn't inquire about that
other than that it was a perfect meal to remind her of what she loved
why wasn't she showing you love for making it?
"anon?"
here it comes, she is going to confess her feelings for you
"w-where is mumei? it is getting dark outside and I am starting to get concerned"
"surely it didn't take all day to pick berries, right?"
what the fu-
fine, maybe it was time to give her the second surprise
you didn't want to have to do this bu-
No you did want to do this, this is what you were waiting for!
suddenly her pupils got real small
she had finished her entire meal
"a-anon?!"
she open her mouth and began scraping her tongue
maybe you didn't need to give it to her yourself
she began choking
she started to spit
she threw up a little
it was brown and chunky covering the base of the dish she ate off of
she looked at you
DIRECTLY in your eyes
this was the first time she looked in your eyes
maybe she was going to confess now
"m-mumei"
"w-what?"
"y-you monster"
she immediately bolted
she ran out the door and got into her car
she sped off
sigh
maybe next time
maybe another will come next year
kronii should be happy though
maybe even as happy as mumei was before she noticed the axe
no matter how far she drives
no matter how much she wept to her mother
no matter how reclusive she got
she would always have mumei with her
mumei will be like a part of her
she loved mumei and this should make her happy
every stream will be a collab
she will always be with her oshi
